I don't believe either side.

I don't think either side's stories ring true. Something else is going on here.

Anatomy of a Massacre Afghaistan

Yalda Hakim's achievement in reaching the survivors and recording such telling evidence from the survivors is truly remarkable. This is certainly Walkley Award stuff. I am a little puzzled by the apparent lack of follow-up in print or other media coverage of the question whether Bales acted alone

Excellent Journalism

Yalda Hakim's report is excellent. Some people in these comments have condemned the use of children for the interviews. Under normal circumstances they might have a point. But these survivor children have been shielded from the American press. These children watched their parents die. These children testify that more than one soldier was involved in the massacre. That directly contradicts the official narrative. they were there. Without this testimony there could be no justice for this massacre

American terrorism

Fantastic reporting. This incident is only one of thousands inflicted by Americans on people in other countries from South America through the middle East and now Africa. America killed millions in Korea, Vietnam and Cambodia. The 'indispensable country' that brings freedom and democracy to the oppressed of the world is the world terrorist. Europeans don't realise yet that through NATO, they are occupied and parasitized by America. Now they're in Australia! For our own good of course.

every thing seems weird

they call it 1000 questions, it is a serious matter not for this soldier(s) but for the whole world to know what criminal activities are being done in afganestan, are soldiers authorised to kill, immunity for killing, why this soldier(s) killed children and women.why this soldier has been taken from afgan the same day, flew to US.there are so many possibilities that this soldier will be released from jail in some years only.why the report from yalda and western has a huge difference.
